Month end is practically a nightmare for the city’s working brigade. As all kinds of bills—mobile, electricity, water, property tax and road tax—pile up and scream for attention, finding time out of the busy schedule to do these chores becomes well-nigh impossible. And since most government offices do not work on Sundays, this also means a precious work-day being lost standing in queues.

Here is where the Bangalore One centres come in. Bangalore One is a service hub sponsored by the Government of Karnataka. There are over 38 centres dotting the city, with many more on the cards.
